1. Give us a brief history of your organization.
Fyzical is the fastest growing Physical Therapy franchise in the U.S. having more than 500 across 44 states. Fyzical Dizziness and Fall Prevention Centers opened in 2017 with a focus on vestibular disorders, balance retraining, physical therapy, and fall prevention. Founded in collaboration with 8 Ear Nose & Throat (ENT) physicians, we provide prescribed physical therapy and medically-based physical fitness.
Our Fyzical Lafayette owners are: Dr. Richard Hebert, Dr. Denbo Montgomery, Dr. John Alldredge, Dr. Jason Durel, Dr. Gregory Duplechain, Dr. Robin Barry, Dr. Rachel Barry, and Dr. Christopher Gaffga.
2. What would you tell the rest of Acadiana makes you special?
Fyzical in Lafayette is unlike any therapy center you’ve been to before. Our highly skilled, compassionate team of physical therapists is 100% focused on achieving optimal health and wellness for you so you can get back to living the life you enjoy. Unlike other therapy centers, you will receive a specific program designed uniquely for you. NO ‘one program fits all’ here.
At Fyzical not only will we fix what is broken, but through our comprehensive programs you will discover how to achieve the pinnacle of healthy living, expand your boundaries, and feel better. At Fyzical, you will receive hands-on therapy treatments by our friendly, caring health experts during focused and individualized sessions.
We provide our patients with access to our Audiologist, Dr. Ashley Mejia, who specializes in hearing and balance disorders. Our audiologist is experienced in identifying, diagnosing, and treating all types of hearing disorders in patients of all ages.
3. What are you most proud of?
We are proud of how impactful the results are for people’s lives. It’s the impact that our vestibular rehab has on the quality of life of our patients. We have the top resources to give the patients the best care throughout their visit. We are proud of our incredible staff that brought Fyzical together to make it the best place possible. Looking back through our patient testimonies, bringing Fyzical into the community helped those who have not received that level of care.
4. Where do you see your organization in 10 years? What are your plans for the future?
I see Fyzical being the top destination for those who need help with vestibular disorders, balance, physical therapy, and strengthening. Fyzical will continue to grow and reach more communities by helping thousands and thousands of fall risk patients that aren’t getting the potential therapy they need. We hope to have a Fyzical brand that if people are having imbalance, worried about falling, and having dizziness that they think of Fyzical first before they go to the Emergency Room.
Our plans for the future are to have multiple locations around different regions to make it more accessible for patients who have difficulty traveling far.
5. 1A is making an impact as we take an active role in improving the community we live in. Our members are making an impact, too! – What does impact mean to you? How is your company making an impact?
Fyzical has reached out to the community and given physicians an option to be able to send their patients to a place that offers the therapy they need and to do extended testing to find the underlying issue. Fyzical has made an impact on so many lives by improving balance and preventing falls.
The Impact is becoming part of someone’s story and creating an effect. Fyzical has created such positive effects on so many people and we have become part of their journey to recovery and living the life they enjoy and loving their life.
